Lomborg in the Daily Mail UK

Published by The Daily Mail

Lomborg's thoughts appear in the article Cash-strapped families face £1,000-a-year bill to help Government beat climate change (as if we didn't have enough problems); on the UK Government's decision to set a 80% cut in carbon emissions by 2050.

The Government's climate change committee estimates this will cost 1-2 % of the GDP. At current values this is £24 billion  -  or £1,200 per household.

The trillion dollar band-aid

Published by The Guardian

Björn Lomborg guardian.co.uk, Monday 15 September 2008

Solving climate change will be the most expensive public policy decision ever. Half-baked thinking won't fix it now.

SMART IDEAS: Eat your vitamins - A very Canadian way to solve a world problem

Published by CBC Television

CBC news, Thursday, August 14, 2008 If Bill Gates, say, offered you $10 billion to solve the big problems of the world, what would you spend it on? Counterterrorism? Global warming? World hunger? What about on the three great plagues of the modern era: HIV, malaria, TB? Where do you think you would get the most bang for your buck? These are exactly the questions a think-tank called the Copenhagen Consensus has been asking, on three occasions now, over the past four years, with the support of such influential publications as The Economist magazine and, this year, the Wall Street Journal.

Kiotó rossz ötlet volt

Published by Index.hu

Új könyve, a Cool IT – Hidegvér! most jelent meg magyarul. Az előző könyve rengeteg támadást kapott – mit csinált máshogy, amikor ezt írta? A módszerem és a mondanivalóm nem változott. Továbbra is azt gondolom, hogy a környezetünkben tapasztalható problémákat nemcsak természettudományos alapon, hanem gazdaság szempontok szerint is vizsgálnunk kell, és a költségeket mérlegelve kell ésszerű döntéseket hoznunk. De míg az előző könyvemben általában beszéltem a legnagyobb problémákról, a Hidegvérben csak a globális felmelegedésre koncentráltam. Read full article

Obama: Cała para w gwizdek

Published by Racjonalista

W jednym ze swoich pierwszych publicznych wystąpień politycznych jako prezydent-elekt Barack Obama skupił się na zmianie klimatu i wyraźnie określił zarówno swoje priorytety, jak i fakty, na których opierają się te priorytety.
